That's bad luck...fingers crossed for the repair. At least you have option 1 as a fall back - and if all else fails

OK ... here's whats happened so far. 1. A bit of precision sawing. I love my Japanese saws. This is a tiny piece of offcut. 2. Lets put a screw in it. 3. The screw is just to give some...

It took some time. And then some more time. Mix up the glue & wood dust, cover the hole, sand and then sand some more. Then mix up some more glue & wood dust and re-cover the hole, and then s...

@tv1010101 I had thought that your scratch plate was another clever peice of wood. So you've answered your own question, having the photo printed on acrylic sounds simpler than waterslide transfers.

@robin I think that would work! I did something similar on this LPJr build ... Took a photo of the neck join area, photoshopped it to extend the body grain pattern over the neck tenon (ie the neck te...

@tv1010101 I've just been reading about inkjet waterslide transfers. Someone had made woodgrain effect transfers, I think it was for a model railway wagon. How about taking a photo of the cavity area...

@johnnierox-boo I did something similar (though for a completely different reason) on another build ... Attachment : 20150307_152458.jpg Attachment : 20150307_152537.jpg ... though, beca...

Attachment : DSC_2827.JPG I'm pretty chuffed with the way this one turned out. No ugly black plastic scratchplate, AND no visible neck join! The body is stained red over gold grain filler - the g...

Cool AS!

Wooden scratchplate...BOOM. @markbailey ... I did the BOOM last time 😉 Fancied trying something different this time around!

Wooden scratchplate...BOOM.

And now, as if by magic, no exposed and visible neck join!! Attachment : 20200823_115733.jpg

Take one LP Jr ... Attachment : 20200823_115713.jpg (Yes, I know it should really have a dog ear P90, and also that the rubber surround of the mini HB isn't looking too good, but that's anoth...

I like LP Jrs. I like the simplicity of a single slab of wood, no fancy top, a single pickup, plug-in-and-play. I also like that they tend to be (in my experience) pretty light, and easy to strap on a...

Brocott.co.uk was where I got mine - I have used 42 AWG. 0.063mm (42 AWG) or 0.056 (43 AWG) enamelled wire on 500g drum..... My winder works and has cost about £50 to build - will need to practice wi...

oh boy! Electronics aren't my strongest part. I would not try and build something like this on my own. Although I have my eye for a while on the stewmac's DIY winding kit. it's around 300 bucks and...

I have the P90 bobbin wound but have not made further progress because I haven’t got a a guitar to try it in......... I have an old Strat shaped body that I have started to attack - I have removed woo...

i am left handed and like the idea of building something from scrap/pallet wood. i really like the finish on it and the rustic look of it. nice and shiny too but with the cracks in the wood give it a ...

Great work @johnlerox-boo I’ve not really got into neck making so much, but your posts here are giving me a huge shove in that direction!
